"Let me through!" A woman exclaims trying to get through the officers and over to where the body of the little boy was. 
"Guys, this is Lauren Brooks. Think she's the mom" Roman says. 
"Ma'am. I have to warn you..." Hank starts to say. Lauren shoves him out of the way and says, "just show me"
"Go ahead" 
Maxine and Antonio uncover the sheet from the boys body and the mother instantly falls to the ground crying and screaming into Max's arms. 
"Hey!" A man yells, running over to the scene, "is that him?"
"I'm sorry I can't let you cross" an officer says. 
"Is that Noah?" The man says, then shouts, "hey. I'm brian Johnson. I'm Noah's dad. Is that Noah?"
"Let him through" Hank says. Brian Johnson walks over to them and stops in his tracks seeing his sons lifeless body laying there. The mother, Lauren, gets out of Maxine's hold and runs over to Brian and pushes him, "you did this. You did this! You brought this on him" 
Kevin intervenes, pulling Brian away who says, "Noah, Noah. Get up" while Max and Erin try to calm Lauren down a little bit. 
While Kevin tries to talk to Brian and his brother Miles, trying to get them to take a deep breath, they walk away in anger. 
"I'm so sorry" Max says, holding Lauren in her arms. 
"My first partner, 25 years ago, told me something I'll always remember and it'll always be true. We solve the cases that need to be solved. This case needs to be solved" Hank says, then Erin and Maxine help the mother up.

"Victim, Noah Johnson. His father, Brian Johnson. According to the gang database, he's part of the west side posse. He does have priors. Possession, attempt to distribute, and UUW." Adam says, pointing at the whiteboard as the intelligence team is now back at the district. 
"Any other rival gangs the west side posse are currently beefing with?" Antonio asks. 
"We're looking into it, just waiting for more intel from CPIC." 
"Might've been a retaliation hit" Olinsky suggests. 
"On a six year old kid?" Adam says, walking back to his desk, "is that what we're talking about?" 
"We're entertaining every possible scenario, Adam." Voight says, walking over to the board
"So, the dads a suspect?" Kevin asks. 
"Everybody is. Look into all family members, all relatives, everybody. Start turning the screws on every known gang member in the immediate zone. Shut down their drug spots, lock 'em up for jaywalking, if you have to. Start flipping these guys one at a time. Someone is gonna talk. Especially if they're looking at time."
Commander Crowley and a reverend walk onto the unit and Dawson says, "commander" 
"Reverend" Hank says, shaking his hand.
